I look for skill with the instrument. That would fall under technique.

Then again, as humpy has pointed out, someone with technique is likely to have speed too.

Above those two, I look for someone with a strong and intuitive sense of rhythm. Very important to a drummer.

However, as I've said before, playing fast with no capacity to play well sucks. Makes me wonder how anyone can listen to Ulrich live without cringing.
